Having problems with your Computer Monitors ?

Monitor is blank/dimension 2400

\015 My monitor is totally blank. I have unplugged from the computer and now if I turn it on it shows a moving square on the bottom left that says ''Self test feature'', and then goes off after about 2 seconds. Is it gonzo??\015

Answers :

If you put a spare monitor on your computer and everything is fine I'd say it has an electronic problem. If the screen is still blank I would look at the video card or PC itself as the problem. Just for fun check the video cable for bent or missing pins.
